Apple is gearing up to debut its iPhone 17 lineup this September, with growing excitement around a fresh addition—a sleek and ultra-light model likely to be named the iPhone 17 Air. While much of the anticipation remains centered on the premium iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max, the rumored Air variant is quickly gaining traction as a standout innovation.
Industry insiders report that Apple plans to unveil four models this fall: the standard iPhone 17, the iPhone 17 Pro, the iPhone 17 Pro Max, and a completely new, slimmer version, the iPhone 17 Air.
Designed for users who prioritize a thinner, more compact feel, the iPhone 17 Air is expected to offer a refined and lightweight profile. Meanwhile, the standard iPhone 17 could feature a redesigned chassis, swapping out sharp edges for a more fluid, curved frame that enhances comfort and grip.
iPhone 17 Camera Features:
The base model of the iPhone 17 is rumored to boast an upgraded 24MP front-facing camera, aimed at delivering sharper selfies and video calls. On the back, it may continue with a dual-lens setup similar to the iPhone 16, combining a 48MP main sensor with a 12MP ultra-wide lens.
iPhone 17 Air Camera Details:
To maintain its slim dimensions, the iPhone 17 Air will likely feature a single 48MP “Fusion” rear camera, optimized for general photography without a separate telephoto lens. This minimalist camera layout complements the model’s streamlined design.
iPhone 17 Series Launch Timeline:
Apple is widely expected to reveal all four iPhone 17 variants—including the new Air model—at its traditional September keynote event. While the exact launch date is still under wraps, Apple typically sticks to this month for its flagship announcements.
iPhone 17 series Estimated Pricing in India, the U.S., and Dubai:
The upcoming iPhone 17 series may face price fluctuations depending on ongoing trade policies. Although Apple has avoided certain tariffs due to exemptions covering tech products like smartphones and laptops, future regulatory changes could still impact costs.
In India, the base iPhone 17 may start at roughly Rs 89,900, while the iPhone 17 Pro Max could reach up to Rs 1,64,900. U.S. consumers might see a starting price around $899 for the entry-level model. In Dubai, pricing could begin at approximately AED 3,799 for the base version.
